SIMI VALLEY : New School Plans Submitted to State
Architectural drawings of a new $5.5-million elementary school in the Wood Ranch development have been submitted to the office of the state architect, Simi Valley school officials said.
The state is expected to take three to five months to consider the proposed 18-classroom school, which will include computers and built-in television sets and videotape machines.
The school is expected to be completed about June, 1992.
Olympia-Roberts Corp., the developer of the massive Wood Ranch tract, will pay construction costs. Officials of the Simi Valley Unified School District said that a committee will soon be formed to choose a name for the school.
The school board also recently chose The Blurock Partnership of Newport Beach, designer of the proposed Wood Ranch school, as architect of a proposed adult education facility.
The two-story adult education building, to be located at the site of a former fire station at Blackstock and Los Angeles avenues, will house the cosmetology and food preparation programs, a bookstore, counseling center and administration offices, Assistant Supt. Mary Beth Wolford said.
Completion of the $2.5-million facility, to be paid out of school district funds accumulated over several years, is planned for late 1992.
